Playstation 4 Inbound!

I do/n't.

I don't for as long as I have just a 42" TV, but when I buy something around 60+ inches, then it would probably be pretty nice.

What is the one big exclusive that would push you to buy a PS4 launch day (or within a year or so)?

Here's an interesting one I read:

Winning the console wars: Sony's not-so-secret weapon - Destructoid

saying that the real key to success may be PlayStation Plus, considering the massive content it bombards you with, and having that for a brand new machine would be kinda unprecedented.

I think whichever company releases that "Netflix for Games" type service, and does it really well out the gate, will be the must-buy system out the gate.

Been thinking about that as well. I've been a PS+ member since it launched (my curernt sub goes well into 2014), and I think they should do a "netlix gaming service" for PS+, but they should really look how Onlive succeeded and failed. I'm curious how deep the Gaikai integration will be. We know they'll roll it out for backwards compatibility, but if they adopt an Onlive strategy I think it could be really good for them in the long run.

Think about some of the major Sony exclusives that simply weren't given the marketing or the push that could've made them big AAA releases (StarHawk, Twisted Metal, Valkyria Chronicles, etc.). These are all games that Microsoft or Nintendo would've marketed the s**t out of, but Sony (because of the sheer number of exclusives it has) has let these games get lost in the crowd. Now if these games were added to a subscription based service, not only would they have more exposure, but possibly build the franchise awareness to a level where the sequel, prequel, etc. would have a large enough base to justify continuing that particular franchise.

Unrealistic: Final Fantasy XV. If it comes out on PS4 at launch, I will inevitably buy a PS4 at launch. But more than likely this will be much later and will not be exclusive.

Realistic: Uncharted 4.

Not for your partner it wouldn't.

I don't think a huge title like Uncharted will be ready for the launch. I think it more likely to be something like Wipeout.

[Loony BoB]

nirojan asked what exclusive title would make me buy the console at launch, and that was the only realistic exclusive title I could think of that would make me buy the console at launch. All other must-buy titles that I know of are cross-platform. Wipeout is far from a must-buy when you already have it on PS3.

[Bubba]

Ah right yeah, I didn't read that properly.

More than likely there will be no must-buy titles ready for launch. Only the suckers will pay full whack on the first day of release.

[Bolivar]

Well, Watch Dogs, Killzone, Drive Club and the Witness have all been confirmed as launch titles and I'm a pretty big fan of the first three developers. I'll probably buy the system if I have disposable income at the time, but Killzone is very close to must-buy territory. I usually burn a lot of hours in Killzone multiplayer and their offerings so far have been pretty substantial. Battlefield and CoD are in that territory as well.

But as far as MUST must haves, that would be Valkyria Chronicles, Metal Gear, or Final Fantasy. FF only if they show us something more than the last console FF's have been.

I also have to say Uncharted is very realistic as a launch title, since this Q4 is around the time they would normally be releasing one.

I can't see it happening unless Naughty Dog aren't the ones doing it. And personally, I wouldn't want the first next-gen Uncharted to be done by another team. I'd rather Naughty Dog wait at least an extra year before releasing a new title on the PS4 anyway so they have time to get the most out of the hardware.

There are two teams at ND. After UC2, they split their team to do UC3 and TLoU. UC3 came out Q4 2011. Considering a two year dev cycle, it's very possible that UC4 will be out this year (or early next year). But then again, they'll probably need a few months to build a new engine for the PS4. 2014 is probably a more realistic date

Annnnd seeing how this is a FF-site might as well post this here:

It's a survey (shown on Kotaku) about what Japanese people are most excited for on the PS4 (this particular question was what title are you looking forward to the most).

InFamous Second Son is apparently a launch title!
